Dont worry about duran teeto,his win against leonard is arguably the greatest single win in boxing history.... A lightweight beating a top two all time welter,doesnt get better than that and No other 135 man in history is beating leonard....
For just the name value? Jimmy McLarnin has a nice set of "name" wins up top with Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, Tony Canzoneri, Pancho Villa, and either Fidel LaBarba or Lou Ambers in the 5th spot.
That 'special' night,the hagler fight ,his 135 reign ,palamino and the barkley bout is why i rate duran better than any of the fab four... If hearns,leonard,hagler or benitez were natural 135 ers roberto would have run them all out of the ring...Ditto robinson,ali,tyson and louis....
Duran is my pick as the best of the 'fab 4' also, i wouldnt say im biased with that, you prety much explained there why he deserves that status.
What would Robinson's be? Gavilan LaMotta Fulmer Turpin (i like this one a lot, but feel free to change this one if you guys see fit) Armstrong (i know at his peak,and naturally smaller, but time-wise, the man was not too far removed from his amazing title-reign at 147) PS- The reason i picked Turpin is because imo, he was the worst stylistic match-up for Robinson, tough as nails, big, strong, and pressure behind a ramrod jab
I realy like Casamayor, class he is, always watched him, but he wasnt robbed against Freitas, unless you mean the knockdown thing
I never watched the entire Casamayor-Coralles 2 fight, but most people think the decision was good. Still, beating Coralles twice is good enough
Sugar Ray Leonard it is. Benitez. Duran. Hearns. Hagler. Kalule or Lalonde. Can't argue with that. That's why he must be a top 10 P4P all-time guy. How about Roy Jones Jr (Toney, Hopkins, McCallum, Ruiz at heavyweight, and either Hill or Tarver at light-heavy) or Pacquiao (Barrera twice, Morales twice, Marquez once) or obviously Ali (Foreman, Frazier twice, Norton, Liston)?
Defo, i cant get part 1 though, the first 2 rounds, if u can find it let me know please, annoyin the **** outta me!!!
Just did it now, wow, i had it for Casamayor by 3 in the end, there was like 2 rounds round the middle which were hard to give and i give them to Casamayor just, but i think i did the same for Coralles also. Anyway, Casamayor, like i say, is class. Also, wasnt this the fight where Diego 'turned boxer'? Whats that about? Maybe a bit in the last 2 rounds?
